Host Ambassador_Thalor says:
The USS Sharikahr and t'Kroshnwe are at impulse, having just exited the Kula system.  Their destination is DS3.
Host Ambassador_Thalor says:

CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
::in her office going over some paperwork::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::in his command chair, going over routine reports as he stands watch::
CMO_Lt_Ahkileez says:
::Sitting on the bridge, in the XO's chair, just watching.::
OPS_Ens_Stolvok says:
::Sitting at Operations, checking their location and heading::
CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::At science one, running simulations on the sensors::
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
::At the bridge console evaluating some of the results from the tests done so far.::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::watches his wife, sitting in the XO's chair, just watching::
CMO_Lt_Ahkileez says:
::Feeling eyes upon her, turns to look questioningly at her husband.::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::smiles:: CMO: Don't you like these quiet runs?
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
::looks at the PADD that has the crew roster on it and starts to think about the annual evals that are coming up:: *CSO*:  Commander do you have a moment?
CMO_Lt_Ahkileez says:
::Raises her hand::  CO:  Hmmm... let me count how many times we have  had a quite run.
Host Ambassador_Thalor says:
@::Sits in his quarters on the t'Kroshnwe, going over his planned negotiations::
CMO_Lt_Ahkileez says:
::Looks at her hand still closed::  Hmmm... can you think of one?
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::shrugs:: CMO: Then this will be our first.
CMO_Lt_Ahkileez says:
CO:  I will hold you to that.  You get dinner for a week?
CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CNS: Of course I have time for you. Nothing mush happening here. What’s up?
Host Malane says:
@::wonders why she has to stay on this ship when she could be investigating the labs on the Sharikahr::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::thinks about it and then nods:: CMO: Sure. I'm a sucker anyway.
CMO_Lt_Ahkileez says:
CO:  Good... I look forward to some old fashion lasagna.
Host Ambassador_Thalor says:
Action: The Sharikahr receives a message from the t'Kroshnwe that they are prepared to go to warp.
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
*CSO*:  I was just going to mention that we need to set up a time for you to have your annual eval done.  I can not do it of course, but I am sure I can help you find someone that you would feel comfortable with. ::Grins all ready knowing what his reaction to this news was going to be::
Malane says:
@::decides to call the Shari and see if she can travel with them::
OPS_Ens_Stolvok says:
CO:  Captain, the t'Kroshnwe has hailed us...we are clear of the system and prepared to enter warp.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::chuckles:: CMO: Brave woman. You've got a deal. ::hears Stolvok and turns his attention back to business::
CMO_Lt_Ahkileez says:
::Smiling crosses her legs and considers the next 6 dinners::
Malane says:
@COM: Sharikahr: This is Malane, may I speak to the Captain please?
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
COMM: Malane: This is Lt. Cephas.  Can I help you?
CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CNS: What? Evaluating what? ::Annoyed: You know it's not safe for anyone to be poking around my brain. It's dangerous for both of us.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
OPS: Thank you, Ensign. Acknowledge the t'Kroshnwe's hail and give them an affirmative. Ten second countdown once we reach their outer marker.
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
::Types in two commands to the engineering staff.::
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
::At the CONN.::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
FCO: Is course and speed locked in?
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
CO: Sir ready to engage at your command.
OPS_Ens_Stolvok says:
::Sees another hail on the board...and knits his brow as it is picked up by the Counselor.  Blinks a few times and responds in kind to the t'Kroshnwe::
Malane says:
@COM: Sharikahr: Ahh counselor. I wish to speak to the Captain about my traveling with your ship so that I may use your lab facilities.
CMO_Lt_Ahkileez says:
::quietly to no one::  Shrimp linguini...
CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::shoots a glare at the captain hearing Malane’s request::
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
::frowns::  COMM: Malane: Very well. I will put you through... ::puts her on hold:: *CO*: Malane would like to speak with you about coming aboard sir.
CMO_Lt_Ahkileez says:
Hmmm... carrot meatloaf... with fresh carrots.
OPS_Ens_Stolvok says:
::Turns and glances in the general direction of the Chief Medical Officer, wondering to whom she was speaking::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::taps the button on his chair arm to receive the comm:: *CNS*: Thank you, Counselor. Put her through.
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
::sends it through::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
OPS: Contact the Kula ship and ask them to hold on. FCO: Standby engines for now.
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
::Opens the fuel economy logs and statistics and runs comparisons with the actual consumption.::
CMO_Lt_Ahkileez says:
Chicken fried steak with lots of mashed potatoes...  hmmm... that makes four.  Three to go.
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
::hurriedly heads out of her office::
OPS_Ens_Stolvok says:
::Hails the Kula, and requests that they standby until further notice::
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
CO: Aye Sir Engines on Standby.
OPS_Ens_Stolvok says:
::Hails the Kula, and requests that they standby until further notice::
CMO_Lt_Ahkileez says:
::Considers::  Spinakopika with baklava(?)
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
::Just for busy sakes, she checks the course calculations for the shortest route.::
Host Ambassador_Thalor says:
Action: The Kula ship responds and stands by.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
COMM Malane: Doctor Malane, I understand you wanted to talk to me? ::tries not to look up instinctively::
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
::hovers to the TL::  Self: I am going to make darn sure that woman is not going to be anywhere near him this time.
Malane says:
@COM: Sharikahr: CO: Captain, nice to hear your voice again. I was wondering if I might come aboard and use your vast lab facilities for a project I am working on? I promise not to get in your crew's way.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::glances at Woody and tilts his head in apology:: COMM Malane: That shouldn't be a problem. Can you be aboard quickly? We're working on a bit of a timetable.
OPS_Ens_Stolvok says:
::Opens the power distribution charts and looks things over, realizing the Captain asked him to coordinate with Engineering on the power usage issue::
Malane says:
@COM: Sharikahr: CO: Thank you Captain, I shall be there shortly.
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
::rides the lift up to the bridge and exits it looking around::
CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::through gritted teeth:: CO: Captain, is that woman going through my labs again?
OPS_Ens_Stolvok says:
::Notifies the transporter room to prepare for an incoming passenger::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
COMM Malane: You're welcome Malane, we look forward to having you aboard again. ::lets the smile show in his voice:: Sharikahr out. ::cuts it off before Hayward's complaint::
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
::smiles:: CSO: Appears that way.  ::doesn't let on her true feelings::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
CSO: We all have to make sacrifices for the sake of good relations, Commander. And she is a qualified researcher.
Host Ambassador_Thalor says:
Action: Malane is quickly beamed aboard the Sharikahr.
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
::Discreetly listens in on the bridge comments.::
OPS_Ens_Stolvok says:
::Places the communications channel with the t'Kroshnwe back on standby as ordered, instead of closing it::
CMO_Lt_Ahkileez says:
::As her husband finishes, so does she::  Cayasta and tolmak.
Malane says:
::arrives in the Sharikahr's transporter room and nods to the transporter chief before leaving for the lab::
CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: Okay, but can I have permission to lock her out of both my office and the main console. She can look all she wants. ::frowns::
OPS_Ens_Stolvok says:
CO:  Doctor Malane is securely aboard.  Should I notify the Kula to resume course?
CMO_Lt_Ahkileez says:
CO:  I think I am going to enjoy the next 7 dinners.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::nods:: CSO: You need only provide the help she needs, not everything she wants. Use your own discretion with that.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::nods:: OPS: Do so.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
FCO: Resume course, Ensign. T-minus ten seconds.
OPS_Ens_Stolvok says:
::Sends his pre-prepared message to the Kula, informing them that the Sharikahr is now ready to resume course::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::eases back in his chair:: CMO: What do I get if I win?
CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
:: locks the main console in the lab and his office:: CO: Thank you Sir CNS: Keely, keep that mad woman away from me. ::slight desperation::
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
::Keeps a close eye on the charts as the engines come into use again.::
CMO_Lt_Ahkileez says:
CO:  I do the cooking?
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
::quickly taps a few things onto her PADD and then hovers up to him with an even larger smile::  CSO: Rest assured I will do my very best.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::tsks:: CMO: Nah, has to be something more than that.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::glances at the screen as the clock counts down::
Malane says:
::checks the computer display to be sure she knows where lab one is located and heads for the turbolift::
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
CO: On your mark sir.
CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::quietly:: CNS: If she "accidentally" gets run over by your chair....I won't tell. ::serious::
CMO_Lt_Ahkileez says:
CO:  More?  How come you get more?
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
::Does final check on course and warp factor as the countdown continues.::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::follows the last countdowns... 3... 2...1...zero... plus one seconds, spotting the Kula ship jump to warp first:: FCO: Engage!
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
::Engages engines at warp factor 3.:: All: Here we go!
Malane says:
::steps into the lift:: Computer, deck 2 please.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::feels the freedom of being at warp again, even if it is at a crawling speed:: Bridge: Excellent work, all of you. Resume duties.
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
::Sees the engine output rise as they come to life.::
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
CO: Sir we are at Warp 3.
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
::chuckles and hands him the PADD::
OPS_Ens_Stolvok says:
::Watches the power spike and subsequent smooth descent on the charts as the engines easily slide them into their cruise::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
FCO: The engines?
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
::The fuel consumption follows the action of the engines, but is of course somewhat higher at low speeds. It does not seem critical, but might be improved.::
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
::Checks the engine report.:: *CEO*: Can you confirm A O.K. status for engines Chief?
Malane says:
::looks out as the lift stops but remains inside:: Self: Hmm, maybe I should see the CSO to be sure he doesn't mind me using his facilities. ::turns to the display by the door:: Computer, bridge please.
CMO_Lt_Ahkileez says:
::Quietly waits for the captain to finish, for her answer.::
CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::looks at the padd Keely gave him:: CNS: So what’s on this?
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
CSO: That is a list of possible counselors... ::holds up a hand::  I know you said it would be dangerous to poke around in your mind but everyone has to get one done. ::says that last part loud enough for the CO to hear::
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
FCO: I read no problems here.
Host Ambassador_Thalor says:
Action: Sensors show a slight subspace disturbance coming from the t'Kroshnwe.  It is quickly gone however.
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
CEO: Thanks Chief.  ::Look over at her over her shoulder and smiles.::
Malane says:
::enters the bridge and looks around for the CSO::
CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::bemused:: CNS: And what are these "qualified" counselors. Did you get the names out of a hat? ::looks through them::
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
CO: Sir the Engines are performing normally sir as per Engineering report.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::visibly relaxes:: FCO: Acknowledged.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
Bridge: I'll be in my readyroom. Woody, keep an eye on things for me.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::heads toward his office, looking over his shoulder:: CMO: Doctor?
Malane says:
::moves to the Captain:: CO: Captain a moment please.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::stops and turns:: Malane: Yes? Did you find the laboratories?
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
::Wonders why Malane is on the bridge and not in the lab where she requested.::
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
CO: At this speed we have a slightly elevated fuel consumption, it is not critical.
CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::surprised, but moves to the big chair, the simulations running at science one as he does::
Malane says:
CO: Yes thank you, but may I speak to your chief of science for a moment?
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
::smiles:: CSO: No these people are some of my very best people.... ::eyes Malane:: plus I know that your personalities will mesh together. 
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
::Somewhat smirks at the Aliens request, knowing that the CSO and CNS really don't like her.::
CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CNS: I want a guy to talk to. ::eyes Malane::
CMO_Lt_Ahkileez says:
::Stands up and walks over to Jyg::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::nods at Anne at the engineering station:: CEO: We have plenty of fuel for this trip, but I'd like to keep an eye on it. See what you three can do to stabilize it.
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
CSO: Klein would be a good one for you then.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::turns his attention back to the guest:: Malane: Of course. But he is busy, so please try to keep it short. ::glances at Woody, it's the best he can do::
Malane says:
CO: Thank you again Captain. ::smiles and nods to him before turning and spotting the CSO::
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
CO: Aye, sir. ::Gets up and goes to the TL.::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::continues to his readyroom with Kela::
CMO_Lt_Ahkileez says:
::Steps through the door::
Malane says:
::walks to the science officer and smiles sweetly:: CSO: Commander, nice to see you again.
CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
:forced smile:: Malane: Good to see you too. What can I do for you?
CMO_Lt_Ahkileez says:
CO:  I am not so sure that was a good idea.
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
::keeps her chair between them::  Malane: Nice to see you again too. ::smiles sweetly::
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
CEO: Anything I can do to help improve the fuel efficiency Chief?
Malane says:
CSO: I would like to run some experiments in your main lab. Will that cause you any inconvenience?
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::almost breaks out in laughter:: CMO: There's just something darkly humorous about watching Woody squirm.
CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
Malane: Er...what did you have in mind?
Malane says:
::nods to the counselor::
CMO_Lt_Ahkileez says:
CO:  Ahhhh... OK.  That I can handle.  Bit dark for you my Vulcan, isn't it?
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
::As the TL arrives, Anne hears the FCO.:: FCO: I'm going down to look at it, I was wondering maybe about the fuel cell activation sequence, but if you have any other ideas, please let me know.
Malane says:
CSO: Just some small chemical tests on the DNA samples I found at the dig.
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
CEO: I'll play with some figures and see what I can find.
OPS_Ens_Stolvok says:
::Upon finishing checking the power charts, closes that instance and sees that there is an unchecked sensor report...glances to the CSO, who is conversing with Malane, and decides he should pull it up::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::smiles and sits on the edge of his desk:: CMO: You know us, Vulcans. An endless pit of laughter.
CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
Malane: Sure, sounds okay to me. You can access nearly everything from the secondary console in the main lab, which is on deck two. Glad I could help.
OPS_Ens_Stolvok says:
::Raises his right eyebrow the slightest bit::  Self:  Highly unusual.
Malane says:
::nods:: CSO: May I call on you if I need some assistance?
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
::Wonders why Malane needs to use our labs.::
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
::sees her opportunity::  Malane: I am going that way now.  I could show you the way.
CMO_Lt_Ahkileez says:
::Chuckles as she sits in the chair in front of him::  CO:  Somehow, I don't see that statement going very far... especially on Vulcan.
Host Ambassador_Thalor says:
Action: A large subspace distortion forms ahead of the two ships.  It appears to possibly be a Transwarp Conduit opening...
OPS_Ens_Stolvok says:
::Cross-references the design on this type of subspace disturbance with known communications methods::
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
::Arrives at Engineering and walks in. It always strikes her how a room where so much power is harnessed can be that quiet.::
CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
Malane: I have bridge watch until  the captain comes back, then I have an urgent meeting with uh.....uh. ::looks at Keely:: CNS: Kilen did you say? Malane: So you can see I'm kind of busy.
Malane says:
CNS: I know the way counselor, but thank you for offering.
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
::nods to him::
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
CSO: Um Cmdr, are you getting these strange readings?
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
::nods to her::
OPS_Ens_Stolvok says:
::Blinks a few times and pauses that search, watching the event unfold on his panel::  CSO:  Commander, there is a large subspace event appearing on our course.
Malane says:
CSO: I will not bother you then Commander unless I have to.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::snorts:: CMO: That's why we don’t' vacation there, Kela.
CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
FCO: What are you looking at? ::moves to science one:: OPS: Determine time and distance to the event
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
::looks at the FCO and then the OPS with concern... immediately takes her position on the bridge::
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
T'Vann: Please show me the fuel cell activation sequence.
CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
Malane: Thank you
OPS_Ens_Stolvok says:
::Calculates the time of arrival at their current speed::
Malane says:
::turns still smiling and heads back for the lift, then turns and waves at the Commander::
CMO_Lt_Ahkileez says:
CO:  Oh, is that why... ah well.
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
CSO: Whatever that is out there that has formed directly ahead of us.  Shall I alter course?
Host Ambassador_Thalor says:
Scene: From the recently opened rupture in subspace emerges a vessel.  It is long, slender nose section stretches out, getting wider toward the aft of the ship expanding into the two nacelles.  It is gloss black with no windows nor anything else marring it's smooth surface.
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
::Puts the disturbance on screen.::
CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
*CO*: Captain to the bridge. We have an unidentified vessel on sensors
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
::Looks up.:: Self/All: Uh Oh.  ::Awaiting orders.::
CMO_Lt_Ahkileez says:
::Looks up::  CO:  Looks like I get those dinners after all.
OPS_Ens_Stolvok says:
::Checks the database for vessels of this type::
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
::looks at the screen::  CSO: Could that be the Chodan'Ri?
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
CMO: I'm thinking after I retire I'm going to open up a comedy club on Vulc... ::hears the comm:: *CSO*: Be right there. ::hops off of the desk and heads for the door::
CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
FCO: All stop OPS: Inform the Kula
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
::Walks over to T'Vann's screen and sees the information.:: T'Vann: Why have we switched around the sequence for the fuel cell activation of Nos. 7-10?
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
All: All stop.
CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CNS: Let’s hope not
OPS_Ens_Stolvok says:
::Relays a message to the Kula requesting they come to a full stop alongside them::
CMO_Lt_Ahkileez says:
::Follows::
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
::Tries to find a course around it.::
Malane says:
::arrives at deck two and enters the lab::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::arrives on the bridge, trying to take in everything at once:: Bridge: Report!
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
<T'Vann>CEO: We are doing maintenance on Nos. 8 and 10, so we have taken out those two, so 7 and 9 are acting double at present.
Host Ambassador_Thalor says:
Action: The Chodan'Ri warship turns toward the Kula vessel, powering up its disruptors as it does so.  The Kula vessel begins an evasive maneuver, dropping out of warp.
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
::watches the screen:: CO: I think they are going to engage each other.
CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: Captain ,we're at all stop, along with the Kula. The vessel is onscreen. I'm trying to identify it now
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
::Notices the Kula ship changing course.:: CO: Sir shall I match the Kula?
OPS_Ens_Stolvok says:
::Checks the results...::  CO/CSO:  The vessel that has emerged from the subspace conduit been positively identified as Chodan'Ri.  It is powering weapons.
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
T'Vann: Ok, but you could have kept the sequence even though that would have brought in an added instability factor of +0.1
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
OPS: Red Alert!
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
FCO: Put us between the Kula and that other ship.
OPS_Ens_Stolvok says:
::Activates Red Alert::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
CSO: Get our shields up!
CMO_Lt_Ahkileez says:
::Takes the life-support system chair.::
CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: Confirmed. It's the Chodan'Ri
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
::preps her station for red Alert::
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
*CEO*: Chief,  We're going to need the engines at their best we've got unwanted company.
CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: Shields up
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
CO: Aye sir.  ::Maneuvers the Sharikahr the best she can between the two ships.::
OPS_Ens_Stolvok says:
::Checks for a tactical analysis::
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
CO: Shall we hail them? ::motions to the new ship::
Malane says:
::hears the alert klaxons and wonders what is going on::
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
::Knows that this could be suicide on our part.::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::reaches his command chair but doesn't sit:: OPS: Advise the Kula ship to stay behind us, and make them stay there! ::emphasizes it::
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
::Hears FCO.:: T'Vann: When can you have those fuel cells back in place?
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::nods at Keely:: CNS: I want to talk to them.
CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::modifies the defense grid to compensate for disrupter type weapons::
Host Ambassador_Thalor says:
Action: The disruptors fire at the Kula vessel.
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
<T'Vann>::Does he look concerned? Nah, he's Vulcan:: CEO: We can have them back in place in five minutes, but this will mean they have not been finished.
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
*FCO*: You have full warp in five minutes.
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
T'Vann: What do you mean, "not finished"?
CMO_Lt_Ahkileez says:
*Sky*:  I will remain up on the bridge unless needed.  Sickbay already stands ready.  Cancel any physicals.
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
::hails the vessel::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::frowns at the screen:: CSO: Extend our shield bubble, keep them inside our shields!
Malane says:
::calls the bridge:: *CSO*: I know I said I wouldn't bother you, but isn't that a danger klaxon blaring?
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
*CEO*:  Any ideas on how to bring the Kula ship along with us, to "piggy back" on us if need be?
CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: Done. ::taps furiously at the tactical panel:: I may not be able to keep them....
OPS_Ens_Stolvok says:
::Raises the Kula yet again, and strongly advises them to stay to the Sharikahr's aft::
CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
*Malane*: Not now!
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
<T'Vann>::Orders the fuel cells back in place.:: CEO: Well, we had taken one completely out and was optimizing its fuel run-through.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::nods:: CSO: Shrink the shields as soon as the Kula get close enough to conserve power.
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
CO: Captain, the Chief reports we will have full warp in less than 5 minutes.
CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: Understood.
Host Ambassador_Thalor says:
Action: The Kula ship is hit and the results are catastrophic.  There are power surges throughout the ship.  Shields and everything else are knocked out totally.  Amazingly the ship is not destroyed, however.
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
*FCO* Errr, tractor beam at half-level should probably do it to pull it in, and then at one quarter to keep it there... maybe.
CMO_Lt_Ahkileez says:
::Sits forward in her seat::  What the...
CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: Looks like we'll need to tuck them in tight, right underneath us would be best
CMO_Lt_Ahkileez says:
::Turns around and pulls up life sensors on the other ship.::
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
CO: No reply to the hail. ::tries again::
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
T'Vann: Are you telling me that putting it back now would mean it works at less than peak efficiency?
Malane says:
::is surprised by the Commander's attitude and decides to deal with that later::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::nods in agreement:: FCO: Get them in close. OPS: Tractor them if you have to.
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
<T'Vann>CEO: Yes sir, but our in-built redundancy means that we can run at full warp anyway.
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
*CEO*: Any way to do it at warp. That is if we will still have the warp engines.  ::Climbing back in her chair.::
Host Ambassador_Thalor says:
Action: A cascade reaction begins in the Kula fusion reactors.
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
T'Vann: I know that, but you get that fixed as soon as possible.
CMO_Lt_Ahkileez says:
CO:  Captain, I am reading over 1/3 deaths.  Many more life forms fluctuating.  I need to get over there or preferably them over here.
OPS_Ens_Stolvok says:
CO:  Their systems have been disabled...and there are power surges throughout...we should evacuate them
CMO_Lt_Ahkileez says:
::Turns around to look at her husband as she taps her comm badge::
CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: Captain, we've got to get the Kula off their ship. It will not hold, and we need to be as far away from them as possible when it explodes. Massive fusion build up on the Kula ship
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
::The engineers report back in Vulcan to T'Vann who turns to Anne.:: <T'Vann> CEO: All ready.
CMO_Lt_Ahkileez says:
*MO* :  Sky, prepare the shuttle bay for a large number of injured.
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
*FCO* You have full power now.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::sits down in his chair:: CMO: There's no way I'm sending you over there in this.... ::shakes his head vehemently at that::
Malane says:
::opens her pack that she just happened to bring with her, and places several vials into the rack::
CMO_Lt_Ahkileez says:
::Stands and walks over to her husband::  CO:  We are ready... still ready from the last... well, never mind.  Beam them aboard.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
FCO: Execute a sixty-degree Starboard roll, show the Chodan'Ri our top side. OPS: Add discretionary power to our forward shields and start transporting the Kula aboard, quickly!
OPS_Ens_Stolvok says:
::Orders the transporter rooms to standby::
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
*CEO*: Thanks Chief, it looks like the Kula ship has suffered severe damage, I think we're going to evacuate.
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
::Looks stunned at the CO, order.:: CO: Acrobatics sir?
OPS_Ens_Stolvok says:
::Allocates backup power to the forward shields and orders the transporter operators to begin beaming the Kula aboard::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::face tight:: FCO: Buying time, Ensign. Do it.
Host Ambassador_Thalor says:
Action: All of the Kula re successfully beamed aboard the Sharikahr.
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
::Takes a deep breath and brings the inertial dampers up to full and executes the roll.:: All: Hold on!
CMO_Lt_Ahkileez says:
::Nodding to OPS, heads for the TL::
OPS_Ens_Stolvok says:
CO:  The Kula are securely aboard.
CMO_Lt_Ahkileez says:
::Stepping into the TL::  Sickbay...
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
CO: Shall we go the other way now sir?
Host Ambassador_Thalor says:
Action: The Chodan'Ri ship fires again.  Finishing the job it started... The t'Kroshnwe is no more.
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
CO: They are receiving our hails.  They are just not responding.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::sees the image on the screen twist as the ship rolls:: OPS: Skin our shields again!
CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: Captain, we need to get out of here. The Kula ship could go at any moment
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
CSO: Arm aft torpedoes and keep them there.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
FCO: Resume course, Warp 8. We'll see if these bastards can run!.
OPS_Ens_Stolvok says:
::Rotates the backup power to the shields facing the Chodan'Ri firing arc, struggling to keep up::
CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: Armed and ready. ::back at tactical::
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
::Taps the control panel.:: CO: Aye sir.
Malane says:
::puts one vile into the centrifuge and turns it on::
CMO_Lt_Ahkileez says:
::Stepping off the TL, walks immediately into controlled chaos.::
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
CO: Sir standing orders to use evasive patterns if they follow?
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
T'Vann: I'm going up to the bridge. Keep the usual vigilance here. We have to fix that fuel cell at the first possible moment.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
CNS: Start drafting a hotwire report to DS3. Let them know we have company.
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
::nods and begins the report::
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
<T'Vann>CEO: Yes sir. ::Sees her exiting ME.::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::nods:: FCO: Yes, but keep us ahead of them first.
Host Ambassador_Thalor says:
Action: The Chodan'Ri ship then turns it's attention to the Federation ship and fires.  It's disruptors easily overpower the shield grid, sending them plummeting to 15%.
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
CO: Make a maze sir?
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
::As she makes her way to the bridge, Anne decides to take up the issue with T'Vann, he takes too many initiatives without informing her.
CMO_Lt_Ahkileez says:
::Notes half her medical staff engaged and looking at Sky, listens as the woman responds the rest are down in the shuttle bay with the less wounded.::
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
CO: Sir may I suggest we get out of here ::tries to recover from the hit::
CMO_Lt_Ahkileez says:
*CNS*:  Keely, should you find some time on your hands, they would be well used down here.
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
::She is rattled as the ship is hit, but arrives at the Bridge.::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::grabs his chair arms:: and agrees:: CNS: I agree wholeheartedly. FCO: Warp 8, Engage!
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
*CMO*: ::continues to type::  As soon as I can doctor!
CMO_Lt_Ahkileez says:
::Frowns as one of the people are brought in with plasma burns covering 80% of his body::
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
CO: Message ready. ::looks up::
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
::Walking quickly to her station she surveys the bridge. Amazed at the calmness there.::
CMO_Lt_Ahkileez says:
::notes Keely's reply and directs the patient to the only available bed.::
OPS_Ens_Stolvok says:
CO:  A direct hit.  The shield grid has been reduced to fifteen percent.  Their disruptors seem to effect each section of the shield grid equally.  Strengthening the point of impact seems to have no effect.
CMO_Lt_Ahkileez says:
MO:  Sky, call up all those not on duty who have medical training and get them out and about.
Malane says:
::feels the ship rock from a weapons blast and stops her work and calls the bridge again:: *Bridge*: They have returned haven't they? ::voices breaks with fright::
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
::Quickly checks the engine output, it seems ok.::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
OPS: Bring auxiliary power online and start recharging the shields.
Host Ambassador_Thalor says:
Action: The Chodan'Ri pursue at warp, easily keeping pace with the Sharikahr, and even rapidly close the gap.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
FCO: Put some distance between us and them.
OPS_Ens_Stolvok says:
CO:  Yes sir.  ::Activates the auxiliary power cells and begins allocating power to the shield generators::
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
CO: I suggest we drop to impulse then do a sudden jump to full warp before they even know where we went.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::shakes his head:: FCO: if they catch us sitting on our thumbs again, we're dead. Increase speed to maximum.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
CNS: Send that message... let Starfleet know what's happening.
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
CO:  Aye sir. ::sends the message and wonders about the Chodan'Ri's weapon::
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
CO: Yes sir, they are able to easily match us.  ::Increases the speed.::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
CSO: Range to target?
Malane says:
*Bridge*: What is happening? Have they returned? Answer me please!
CMO_Lt_Ahkileez says:
::Sighs as she pulls the blanket up over her patient.  Waves a hand for him to be taken to the morgue and another brought in.  Her face showing nothing the passing of a life meant or felt to her.::
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
::hears Malane and sighs with compassion... even for her:: *Malane: Yes they have.
Host Ambassador_Thalor says:
Action: The Chodan'Ri fire some type of torpedo, finishing off the shields and sending major disruptions through the power grid.
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
::is rocked again::
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
::Opens the auxiliary systems access panel and redirects some of the power from non-essential systems to engines.:: FCO: You have 5% extra to draw on now.
Malane says:
*CNS*: Counselor, my ship, and my people!
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
::Is knocked out of her seat again.:: Self: Dang blasted.
CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: They're within range now. ::wry::
OPS_Ens_Stolvok says:
::Rocks back and forth a little, but appears totally unfazed::  CO:  Shields have been exhausted, and the power grid is fluctuating.
Malane says:
::is thrown again the lab table::
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
*Malane*:  Your people are in our sickbay.
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::scowls:: CSO: I got that. Fire rear, full spread!
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
::Almost falls of her chair.::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
FCO: Change course, 30-degrees starboard!
CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::fires a full spread::
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
*CEO*: Thanks Chief ::Sounding winded.:: Would it be possible to drop out of warp then jump back to it almost immediately?
OPS_Ens_Stolvok says:
::Ensures the weapons are still online, and hopes the grid holds up under the excessive maneuvering::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
OPS: Take nonessential systems offline and start rerouting. Get those damned shields back up!
Malane says:
*CNS*: So they are all safe?
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
CO: Changing course sir, however they are matching us to a T.
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
::sees that she is of little use here now:: CO: Permissions to report to sickbay?  They are going to need all the help they can get.
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
FCO: There may be a slight delay of one or two seconds, but I don't think so, so go right ahead.
CMO_Lt_Ahkileez says:
::Growls as the light flickers, her rarely Klingon heritage more then evident.  Everyone takes a breath and quickly goes back to their work::
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
::nods dismissively at Keely::
FCO_Ens_Haynes says:
CEO: Thanks for the input.
OPS_Ens_Stolvok says:
::Begins methodically taking nonessential systems offline and checks the status of the shield generators::  CEO:  Do you have an estimate as to when shields will again be available?
Host CO_Capt_Ahkileez says:
CSO: Continue firing, maintain the same target position on their shields. At this range, leave the torps on high yield.
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
::turns and heads for the TL:: *Malane*:  I am heading there now to see.
Host Ambassador_Thalor says:
Action: For no apparent reason, the shot from the Sharikahr takes out the Chodan'Ri warp drive.  The vessel turns and reenters the disturbance from where it emerged.
CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::targets shields and sets the torpedoes for maximum burst::
CEO_Ens_Brincker says:
::Brings up the shield grid and sees the damage. T'Karr is on it, so...:: OPS: Two-three minutes
Malane says:
::heads for sickbay as well to see her people::
CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::fires continuously::
CMO_Lt_Ahkileez says:
::glances up as she hears the doors open again.  Shakes her head as she sees one of her own crew.::  MO:  Sky, take care of our crew.  Ummm...  use the lounge.
CNS_Lt_Cephas says:
::rides the lift down and quickly disembarks as soon as it stops::
OPS_Ens_Stolvok says:
::Raises an eyebrow as the Chodan'Ri blip disappears into the subspace distortion blip::
Host Ambassador_Thalor says:
